Divide each side by '8'.
0.625 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.625' to each side of the equation.
0.625 + 1.5x + -0.625 + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Reorder the terms:
0.625 + -0.625 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0.625 + -0.625 = 0.000
0.000 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.625
1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.625 = -0.625
1.5x + x2 = -0.625

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
